Stripping back unnecessary packaging and misleading ingredients, The Ordinary offers an abundance of brilliant, high-performance products at eye-wideningly reasonable prices – and their Squalane Cleanser is no exception! Carefully formulated for all skin types, this clever potion dissolves make up and the day's dirt while simultaneously moisturising with a combination of squalane and other lipophilic esters.
This gentle cleanser is anything but ordinary, removing make up and impurities as it retains your skin's moisture – unlike some harsher cleansers, there's no need to worry about tightness after using this. Star of the show is squalane, a first-class hydrator that's found naturally in the skin, helping to prevent loss of moisture and boost suppleness. This combines with other lipophilic esters to dissolve make up and unwanted grime for clean and clog-free pores. The hard-working formula feels balm-like when first applied, changing to a clear oil-like texture when warmed into your skin – an important feat that allows emulsifying sucrose esters to capture the dissolved make up and dirt and rinse them away. Free from soap, which can cause irritation or 'strip' the skin, this crowd-pleasing cleanser respects your complexion's natural epidermal lipids, making it suitable for all skin types – even sensitive ones.

Lovely gentle cleanser for me!
Really like this, I don't do much skincare but really happy with the simple ingredients and how to use it: no faff, just massage in, wash off and that's it! My skin feels smooth and gently cleaned. I wouldn't say its a great makeup remover though but still, would recommend as a good gentle cleanser. A lovely price tag + simple packaging and design. Will defo buy again x

A great oil based cleanser
I love this cleanser and the formula is so easy to use and apply. It would be great as the first step in double cleansing as it is oil-based so gets right into the dirt and grime. I have oily skin and it doesn’t leave the face feeling oily after and my skin feels refreshed. Only giving 4 out of 5 as haven’t tried it with makeup yet so not sure how good it would be but so far so good

Amazing
I love this cleanser, when I first used it alongside some other ordinary products I broke out a small bit for about a day or two, but after continuously using it, it has helped my skin so much. I have never really had a skincare routine, but have started to develop one using the ordinary products and this cleanser is by far my fave cleanser ever, it makes me so happy with how much it’s helped clean up my skin and it makes it smooth. I use it every day and feel so confident in my skin now and going out without makeup. I do have to say that I find the bottle a bit small as I’m close to running out already after about 2 weeks but I think that’s my fault as I didn’t really know how much to use

Very gentle
This is a great cleanser and it's not overly stripping, a bit too small and doesn't remove foundation well but great when not wearing any makeup!

miracle cleanser for my skin
I’ve always struggled with sensitive skin, usually leading to breakouts. I’ve been using this product for just a week and the difference in my skin is incredible. I began using the cleanser with a breakout of whiteheads and large pores, I also have VERY oily skin. This product has helped to clear my skin; i still have the odd spot but nothing near how bad it was. My pores are less noticeable and it has helped significantly reduce the amount of oil on my face. Thank you so much!

Very gentle
I really love this cleanser. I have very sensitive skin that reacts to most skincare products by breaking out with whiteheads. I bought this to be my first cleanser with the idea in mind that I would have to use a second cleanser afterwards to make sure this didn't block my pores, but have found that it is so gentle and non-clogging that I don't need to double cleanse after using this - a huge win! My skin has cleared right up, my sebaceous filaments have become soooo much smoother and smaller, and its just a lovely feel on the face. Does a very thorough job. One downside is the size of the bottle though!! I go through one in about 3 weeks, so feels like a lot of waste is being produced by throwing out packaging that often.
